POMONA >> The arraignment for a Fontana woman accused of being involved in a drunken-driving crash that resulted in the death of six people has been moved to Monday.

The arraignment was expected to take place Friday morning but there were difficulties in getting Olivia Carolee Culbreath, 21, to the Pomona Courthouse, said Arlene Vasquez, spokeswoman for Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Culbreath is expected to be in court Monday morning, she said.

In the past, arraignment hearings have been rescheduled for medical reasons and to give lawyers time to review vast quantities of documents related to the case.

California Highway Patrol investigators said that on Feb. 9 Culbreath drove her red Chevrolet Camaro the wrong way on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar when she struck a Ford Explorer.

All the occupants of the Explorer died as well as the two passengers in Culbreath’s Camaro.
